Project Hail Mary

Ryland Grace wakes up drifting aimlessly through space. His memories are fuzzy, and he can’t remember what he was doing or why he is where he is. He just knows that his two crewmates are dead, and the ship is orbiting an earth-sized planet that looks very similar to our own. As Ryland starts to get his memories back, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to solve a scientific mystery and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he?
